Book Summary
From the #1 New York Times bestselling creator of the
acclaimed Alex Delaware series comes a tour de force
standalone novel that illustrates perfectly why “Jonathan
Kellerman has justly earned his reputation as a master of
the psychological thriller” (People).
A brilliant, deeply dedicated psychologist, Grace Blades has
a gift for treating troubled souls and tormented
psyches—perhaps because she bears her own invisible scars:
Only five years old when she witnessed her parents’ deaths
in a bloody murder-suicide, Grace took refuge in her fierce
intellect and found comfort in the loving couple who adopted
her. But even as an adult with an accomplished professional
life, Grace still has a dark, secret side. When her two
worlds shockingly converge, Grace’s harrowing past returns
with a vengeance.
Both Grace and her newest
patient are stunned when they recognize each other from a
recent encounter. Haunted by his bleak past, mild-mannered
Andrew Toner is desperate for Grace’s renowned therapeutic
expertise and more than willing to ignore their connection.
And while Grace is tempted to explore his case, which seems
to eerily echo her grim early years, she refuses—a decision
she regrets when a homicide detective appears on her
doorstep.
An evil she thought she’d outrun
has reared its head again, but Grace fears that a police
inquiry will expose her double life. Launching her own
personal investigation leads her to a murderously
manipulative foe, one whose warped craving for power forces
Grace back into the chaos and madness she’d long ago fled.
